“I’m writing to share the story of my little mare, Roxie.

Last summer Roxie started exhibiting symptoms of headshaking, including massive amounts of twitching as if there were flies all over her, tossing her head, and generally looking stressed and bothered. It worsened to the point that she could not lower her head to eat and had to be stalled with her hay and water elevated.

We tried so many things, including antihistamines, the liquid titanium mask, Bute, etc. We did an ultrasound of her nuchal ligament and treated that for inflammation with no success. Nothing worked. We finally tried gabapentin, which did work, hallelujah.
This year, Roxie has a teenage student of mine who asked to show her. Because gabapentin is not show legal, we set about finding another solution. We did trials of electrolytes, a titanium mask, and charted her symptoms with and without the gabapentin. She can go about 5 days without it before the symptoms return, consistently.

We decided to try EZium - and it works. I’m amazed. It works just as well as the gabapentin. Roxie went to her first weekend show in late April, and then went again for the day in June, with a 5 point increase in her score. Her rider is enjoying growing her skills and the pony’s confidence at shows, and she stays on the EZium and stays well.
Well, last week I forgot to include it in the feed order, so she has been off of it for about 4-5 days… and last night had an “episode” of massive twitching, inability to lower her head, and just a lot of upset. I was distressed to see this, and then this morning woke up and remembered — she’s out of EZium! Once on it again she’s doing just fine.

We’re so glad to have a product that enables this talented pony to feel her best and give her all to her young rider and all the young people in our lesson program.Thank you!”

“An equine nutritionist helping me manage an insulin resistant horse I had in my dressage training program first told me about EZium Metabolic. I checked out the website and when I read through the list of signs your horse might have a magnesium deficiency, I immediately thought of another horse I had in my training program. Both horses, the IR horse and the horse with a resistant and sometimes spooky nature got started on their respective EZium products at about the same time. The change in the spooky and resistant horse was nearly immediate. I noticed a difference within 4 days and within 2 weeks the horse came off his calming supplement. Within a few months he had progressed enough that he was able to go home and work with his owner full time. The metabolic horse was showing more energy and looking more healthy and happy within a few weeks. He had more spring in his step and his weight improved. I was so impressed with the product that I put my young horse, who you could describe as not having a fantastic work ethic, a bit grumpy about putting himself together, on EZium and what a different horse! He is focusing better. His muscles glide, he is feeling fit and strong and willing. I now recommend this product regularly to my students and I have seen results each and every time.

I am so very glad it works so well. And I am so very glad that the company itself is easy to work with. I would recommend this product to everyone that owns a horse. They don’t have to be in major trouble to benefit from this product. They will benefit. They all will."

“So often when you are working with a supplement, it is hard to know if it makes a difference. But EZium seems to be loud and clear: it works! Unless you are a chemist, it is also hard to know if the science behind the product is being correctly represented. I gave this a try because someone with a PhD in Equine Nutrition (and independent of the company) suggested it to me. I am so very glad it was recommended. I am so very glad it works so well. And I am so very glad that the company itself is easy to work with. I would recommend this product to everyone that owns a horse. They don’t have to be in major trouble to benefit from this product.

📍 Isley Farm Supply carries EZium and is a locally owned feed, garden, pet, and farm supply store with your needs in mind.

Isley Farm Supply started as a partnership between owner Rusty and his longtime friend, Tim who worked as a truck driver. An operation that now stores products in over 200 trailers and additional buildings, started kind of like a country song with a farmer, a trucker, and one trailer of pine needles. In January 2001, it was a weekend job for the pair of friends to make extra income, until eventually Rusty bought his friend’s share in the business and began the operation full-time.

Each year inventory has expanded such as the addition of wheat straw in 2003, animal feeds in 2011, and in 2015 a variety of dealer feeds. Rusty has enjoyed many positions in sales over the years with opportunities to sell in various industries. In fact, he started his sales career as a child by digging up worms to sell to fishermen on his family’s dairy farm. Today, Isley Farm Supply is one of the top feed stores in the State of North Carolina and region.

Not only does Isley Farm Supply have their own brand of cattle and chicken feeds, but they also proudly carry products from many companies including Cargill-Nutrena, Blue Seal, and Kalmbach. Continuing to serve the community and agricultural industry is one of Isley Farm Supply’s most valued contributions.

Presently, you can find them in their 12,000 square foot retail space on the site of the Alamance County Fairgrounds — and don’t worry, those storage trailers that helped to get their start, they’re still around too.

“EZium was recommended to me by my trainer for my overly sensitive rescue gelding. He had all of the symptoms of being magnesium deficient. He was nervous, jumpy, tense and as it turns out, hadn’t been getting any proper nutrients. I started him on EZium and saw an immediate change in his behavior. He became more calm and focused. I now feed it to all of my horses. What a wonderful and simple solution! Thanks EZium!”

🤓 FAQ Friday!

“How did EZium come to be?” 🤔

From the inventor, Dr. Teena Middleton:

Have you ever had a horse that you just knew had lots of talent but they were always too “something” to achieve their potential? For me, that horse was Music of My Heart. Every day was something different - too tight, too reactive, too sensitive…you name it. I tried everything before I discovered the power of chelated magnesium. However, there was no affordable chelated magnesium option that was easy to feed, which was why I invented EZium!

I never intended to go into business, I only wanted a pelleted supplement in my feed room that soothed my "savage beast." Friends saw how it transformed Music, wanted the same results for their horses, and EZium was born. If it worked for Music, I know it will work for you.

“I have had great results from feeding EZium. I started feeding a liquid form of magnesium supplement to aid in the management of my horse's anxiety and behavior outbursts. Later, I realized magnesium's benefits in my horse's ulcer prevention program. While this product was effective, l discovered that feeding EZium, a pelleted product, was super convenient and also much more cost effective. I am an EZium convert for sure and highly recommend this product.”

🤓 FAQ Friday!

“How does magnesium relate to insulin response?”

⚠️ Magnesium is required for a normal insulin response.

✅ Magnesium lowers blood sugar by sensitizing the insulin receptors, resulting in a more normal insulin response.

🔬 Magnesium levels increase in the blood following glucose ingestion as it is involved in the action of insulin to clear glucose from the blood. Reduced magnesium concentrations at the insulin receptor level result in defective enzyme activity. Links between magnesium deficiency and diabetes have been demonstrated in rats. Magnesium deficiencies have been implicated in Equine Metabolic Syndrome.

🐎 Feeding EZium can help ensure your horse has a normal insulin response.

📍 Pittsboro Feed carries EZium and is your one-stop shop for all your farm and animal needs. They offer a wide variety of feed, supplies, and services for horse, livestock, poultry and more.

Meet David & Christine Miller, who started Pittsboro Feed & Pittsboro Pet Supply. They feel so blessed to be part of agriculture throughout their entire lives. From growing up on farms, their first jobs of working in a feed store or driving semi-trucks with feed in them to now owning their own store. Both David & Christine purchased their first store in 1992 in a little town called Highland, Michigan, called Highland Feed & Water. They owned & operated and their children grew up in that store until November of 2005 (their family friends still own that store to this day). It gets a little chilly in Michigan throughout the winter months so they decided to pack up and move to Pittsboro, North Carolina, where they purchased another small store called Pittsboro Farm & Garden. Over the next 10 years, they outgrew that little store and decided to open a secondary store right across the street called Pittsboro Pet Supply in December of 2015.

🤓 FAQ Friday!

“How do magnesium and calcium work together in muscle and nerve function?”

👉 Calcium's role is to facilitate muscle contraction.
When the muscle cell is triggered, the calcium channels in the cell membrane open, letting calcium in. Increases in the calcium level in the cell triggers the reaction. The calcium binds to the actin-myosin complex, locking it in a shortened or contracted state.

👉 Magnesium's role is to facilitate muscle relaxation.
Once its task is fulfilled, calcium is ushered out of the cell by the action of magnesium, releasing the contraction. Magnesium knocks the calcium from the binding site on the actin-myosin complex, allowing it to relax to the inactive or non-contracted state. The proper Magnesium:Calcium ratio in the cells maintains the cell in a state of relaxation.

👉 Calcium is also critical for nerve impulse transmission.
When a nerve cell is stimulated, calcium ions enter the cell, leading to the release of neurotransmitters at the nerve terminal. These neurotransmitters then propagate the nerve signal to the next cell or muscle fiber.

👉 Magnesium helps maintain the balance of calcium inside and outside cells. It regulates the activity of calcium channels, ensuring that calcium levels remain optimal for proper muscle and nerve function.

🔬 Magnesium and calcium work together in a finely tuned balance to facilitate muscle contraction, relaxation, and nerve impulse transmission. Their coordinated actions ensure smooth and efficient functioning of the muscular and nervous systems.

🔬 If magnesium is deficient for a long period of time, calcium can accumulate in the cells and tissues. When cells lack sufficient levels of magnesium, they cannot counter the excitatory effects of calcium. In fact, imbalances in the Magnesium:Calcium ratios can cause a response in the cell even in the absence of a trigger or stimulus. An imbalance in the Magnesium:Calcium ratio makes it difficult for the cells to EVER relax.

✅ Feeding a highly bioavailable source of magnesium such as EZium can restore the delicate calcium and magnesium balance.
